I’ve been pre-posting to the blog with some stuff, including this thread, because I’m actually out of town for what is a long weekend here in Saskatchewan and I won’t be around to review the PPV or RAW on Monday, so feel free to discuss the show here! And hopefully no one dies while I’m gone.
JR has more or less guaranteed that Seth Rollins is getting the title tonight. Or that someone is doing something with barbecue sauce. Or something. I don't know; I'm not totally fluent in JR-ese.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can tell about 80% of what he says on his Q & As can be translated to "You're just a stupid mark and have no idea how wrestling works."
ReplyDeleteIt's viable.
ReplyDeleteOh shit. If Scott's going away for a few days, then SOMETHING big is going to happen. It's like when someone says there's not a lot of news lately.
ReplyDeleteHe's at least nicer about it than someone like Mark Madden who bashes marks that care about "fake wrestling"
ReplyDeletePredictions: Henry wins EC, Cesaro retains, Team Cena wins, ADR retains, and Rock retains. Heyman accidentally costs Punk the match. Punk is pissed, argues with Heyman and shoves him down. Cue Here Comes the Pain.
ReplyDeleteLike all of that except I have a horrible feeling they go with Swagger
ReplyDeleteI won't bitch if Swagger wins. At least it is something new.
ReplyDeleteI could see them giving the belt to Miz since they seem to be so into him right now, but I think you may be spot on.
ReplyDeleteI suppose as long as it's not Randall
ReplyDeleteI won't even bitch if Orton wins. Heel Orton vs face ADR could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll toss out my predictions: Rock retains. ADR retains. Henry wins. Cena's team wins. Kaitlyn retains. Miz wins.
ReplyDeleteI'm pissed right now because the local bar where I always watch wrestling is not showing the PPV tonight for some stupid NBA All-Star Game
ReplyDeleteWacky prediction time. I'm booking for what would amuse me most not what would actually happen.
ReplyDeleteCesaro over Miz clean.
Rock beats Punk, but it's not clean. Triple threat at mania!
Cena, Ryback, Sheamus have the Shield beat but Brock interferes on the Shield's behalf.
Henry wins the chamber.
Del Rio retains over Big Show. Dolph cashes in when Big Show flips out after the match. 4 way WHC match at wrestlemania!
What about face Orton vs. face ADR?
ReplyDeleteCould definitely see them doing a four way WHC match at Mania. Gotta fit the guys on the card somehow.
ReplyDeleteThat would make me sad
ReplyDeleteTweener vs Tranny
ReplyDeleteAs an Orton mark, heel Orton vs. most anyone on SmackDown is interesting to me. As a face he's more than run his course.
ReplyDeleteOver/Under Cena will turn heel predictions tonight: 10
ReplyDeleteI think Scott gets a long weekend because of Family Day. Horseshit!
ReplyDeleteWhile you're waiting, here's Botchamania 224
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxktze_botchamania-224_sport
(are cheap plugs allowed on here?)
As long as you don't start ripping off videos from Cracked.
ReplyDeleteChristian returns tonight, destroying somebody to take their spot in the Chamber.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the word destroy used in relation to Christian is just as weird as seeing the word healthy used in relation to Christian.
ReplyDeleteWho is this guy announcing with Striker on the preshow? Isn't this normally Scott Stanford's spot?
ReplyDeleteThe British table bit was awesome...
ReplyDeleteTony Dawson. He works or worked NXT for a while. I like Stanford a lot better because he actually has personality, but Vince's choices in announcers past 1996 have not been stellar.
ReplyDeleteI'm not impressed by the Tensai/Brodus team, but the double splash is a decent finish for them.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't Primo & Epico have been put into this spot? Reunited the Rhodes Scholars 3 weeks after they split just to job them to the Hip Hop Hippo's on the pre-show?
ReplyDeleteI like Stanford a good bit too, and have been underwhelmed by this guy so far.
ReplyDeleteOr Hunico and Camacho or The Usos... I don't get it either.
ReplyDeleteHunico and Camacho still have a job?
ReplyDeleteBecause they're FAT!
ReplyDelete(Scoffs) stop being a jerk... wait... DO they still have a job?
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen them in months, which is a shame since Hunico is actually pretty damn good.
ReplyDeleteHave Brock Lesnar and CM Punk ever been seen in the same place at the same time?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk kind of thing, and they are both one and the same person??
Stanford's absence can be explained by the Zack Ryder Effect.
ReplyDeleteThat much awesome on the screen at the same time will more than likely end the universe.
ReplyDeleteThe Fall of Humanities! Great way to beat a team of scholars. Get a real major!
ReplyDeletelol. Can you come up with a precise definition for that?
ReplyDeleteTime to fire up WWE '13 and swap the entrances of Christian and Mark Henry...
ReplyDeleteWell Stanford has a real news job as well, could of just been busy with it and unavailable tonight.
ReplyDeleteAnyone known to be associated with Zack Ryder's Z! True Long Island Stories have been known to either be pulled off TV (John Morrison, Scott Stanford) or suffer horrendous bouts of Jobber-itis (Dolph Ziggler). The only one able to overcome this phenomena is John Cena, by virtue of simply being John Cena.
ReplyDeleteShould've gone for the cheap pop plug.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Botchmania from right here...in the Blog of Doom!
Camacho has been on NXT a bit, I think Hunico is hurt though.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that the only reason they did the Rhodes Scholars break up angle was because they need over heels to feed to the babyfaces for the WM buildup. Expect them to do nothing but job and then get back together after WM.
ReplyDeleteAnd their shadows weigh forty two pounds, lemme tell you once again!
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Vince is just trolling us at this point by having not done it.
ReplyDeleteNah he won't be back and when he does it won't be in that significant of a role
ReplyDeleteHmm... I didn't know that. Good for him.
ReplyDeleteAlberto Del Curtain Jerker.
ReplyDeleteThe should just rename the WHC the Curtain Jerker
ReplyDeleteI would have started with the EC match.
ReplyDeleteMike & Angelo theme tune? Amazing.
ReplyDeleteAny chance of Dolph cashing
ReplyDeletewhy is canada getting a long weekend for presidents day?
ReplyDeleteSecond most important spot on the card next to the main event.
ReplyDeleteWorld Heavyweight Title Match Curtain Jerks again! Considering it'll probably do the same thing at Mania, i think it's time for a reunification.
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather see a cash in at Mania now.
ReplyDeleteWas that cameraman supposed to get doused with paint? Or do we have one unemployed cameraman now?
ReplyDeletehttp://scottstanford.tv/
ReplyDeleteYeah its a worthless title, at least they picked one to make the most important. Gotta take a win where you can get it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to watch the Chamber match later for a shot at the Curtain Jerking Championship!
ReplyDeleteI want him to call his shot tonight. Challenge the champ at Mania like a man's man.
ReplyDeleteThen why is the 4th most important match in it?
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one streaming this place holder ppv so I can watch the all star game?
ReplyDeleteThat's not what #heels do.
ReplyDeleteGiving the WHC a push tonight!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's meant anything since Daniel Bryan won it, no offence to Dragon, but if he was ever going to win the world title and have it mean something it would be right now, when he's one of the most over people in the company, not after jobbing a hundred times to sin cara then cashing it in. Before that we had Christian and Orton having a war over it and Mark Henry's Hall of Pain. Since then we've had a lackluster Sheamus reign, a boring Big Show reign...and an abrupt Del Rio win.
ReplyDeleteSo the World Heavyweight title was positioned above the WWE Title in my eyes from it's inception in 2002 to about 2007 or so but was there a specific moment where the WWE Title regained it's top spot?
ReplyDeleteAll Star Saturday over All Star Sunday
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena.
ReplyDeleteApril 27, 2008.
ReplyDeleteI went to the one in Vegas in 06...yikes it was the scariest thing I've ever been a part of. They wouldn't even let us back in the hotel because of all the shit going on. But in general I agree, I remember as a kid they used to play Above the Rim after it late saturday night. However last nights sucked.
ReplyDeleteWrong, but good guess!
ReplyDeleteWhen Triple H won it?
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of starting with a title match. Just surprised that it's the WHC seemingly every time.
ReplyDeleteFat Chin Music.
ReplyDeletewhen was it then? because I'm pretty sure them pushing a year long Cena reign and putting him over HHH and HBK at back to back wrestlemania main events is a pretty big way to show superiority for a title.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing Ricardo loves more than ADR is that bucket.
ReplyDeleteSee above.
ReplyDeleteThe title that HHH holds is the main title.
Nah. Batista's win at Mania XXI over Trips for the WHC was much higher on the totem pole than Cena's over JBL. Unless you meant the next year then yeah i guess you're right.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually pretty accurate, I'd say. I was thinking around the same time.
ReplyDeleteYea cause they are going to have Rock be the opening match tonight :P
ReplyDeleteThat was an AWFUL splash
ReplyDeleteNo you're right, at that time the WHC was still the biggest title, so i would have to guess it was at WM22 when Rey won the WHC, and the WWE title was the main. That to me was when WWE title took it's importance back.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. They got they're groove back with The Vince contest in 2000 and have been going down since
ReplyDeleteRiccardo is ADR's spit bitch.
ReplyDeleteBig show going for the power bomb. Did he ever use that as a finisher.
ReplyDeletePunks regin
ReplyDeleteMark Henry needs to beat the crap out of Dolph Ziggler, take his briefcase, storm down to the ring, and get his Championship back.
ReplyDeleteCrowd are into Del Rio.
ReplyDeleteThe blake one was the only real epic contest of recent times.
ReplyDeleteThis is where you run into a problem if a guy's finish is a punch. Why would he grab his throat for chokeslam rather than just punch him?
ReplyDeleteThey are obviously building to a future Swagger vs Del Rio match, do you think they have the guts to have that at WM?
ReplyDeleteNot to my recollection. In fact, I can't even remember him using it before.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Dolph Ziggler,Big Show,Mark Henry & Randy Orton? Mania will be filled with multiman matches just to get the Top 25 guys on the card.
ReplyDeleteOnly if it's not for the WHC. Maybe Ziggler cashes in tonight, and Jericho wins the Chamber. Then run ADR-Swagger at WM.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Swagger is buried back to nxt before that happens.
ReplyDeleteI dunno. Do you think they have the guts to put the WHC match on the preshow?
ReplyDeleteCould you explain what was scary about it?
ReplyDeleteFrom a psychology standpoint, wouldn't it make more sense to put the armbreaker on the chokeslam/punch arm?
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a better finisher in the world of pro wrestling than a punch imo
ReplyDeleteThis match isn't half bad.
ReplyDeleteMark Henry would like a word with you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe do Swagger/Jericho to build Swagger a little bit before Swagger/ADR?
ReplyDeleteYeeeeeeesh.
ReplyDeleteMaffew, time to plug botchamania again...
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Botched kick there thou
ReplyDeleteno wait big botch...nvm
ReplyDeleteMAFFEW WHERE YOU AT
ReplyDeleteThey can edit that out of the DVD.
ReplyDeleteOh vey. That was fun for a while til that kick
ReplyDeleteI really hope that's the end of this feud.
ReplyDeleteThat botch, dammit... it would've been a hell of a finish if he hadn't blown that spot and sucked some of the life out of the audience.
ReplyDeleteZiggler where are you?
ReplyDeleteI think he even botched it on the 2nd attempt too. Shame, because they were having a decent match.
ReplyDeleteThat one was wrapped for Maffew with a bow.
ReplyDeleteSo is Punk/Rock the main event or the "main event"
ReplyDeleteWow they are seriously going with del rio as champ at WM? good for him...guess that means Henry is winning tonight.
ReplyDeleteLots of, lets say "west coast gangsters." LIke 100's. After the event there were dudes flipping over tables, guys straight brawling, and people getting robbed left and right. I saw some dude get stabbed right inside cesars place. Shots fired out in the street, someone lit a car on fire. The casino that we went after leaving the Thomas and Mack told us to leave at our own risk, and Mandalay (the hotel that I was at) wouldn't let us back in for hours because of all the robbing and violence. By the way, none of this shit really made it in the papers. Vegas did a great job of covering it up, just a total gang fight/rapper entourage fight/weird scene. I'll never forget that shit.
ReplyDeleteFuck the WWE for showing a trailer.
ReplyDeleteSo much for Ziggler. I guess that means Mizark Henry will definitely win the Chamber now. Good. I personally hope they let him squash Del Rio for the title and put him over strong. I'm digging his character right now. That being said, the likely result is Del Rio in a squeaker....Henry lays him out....and Ziggler FINALLY cashes in.
ReplyDeleteFeels good seeing a guy I actually like get a big main event push like this.
ReplyDeletePlease don't let Miz win, please don't let Miz win, please don't let Miz win...
ReplyDeleteThat trailer needed more fake Cole laughing.
ReplyDeleteNow get show the fuck out of the title picture and put him with Ryback or someother freak
ReplyDeleteCesaro will win for America. What a patriot.
ReplyDeleteTyra!
ReplyDeleteThat honestly would be a waste of Ryback. Just retire, Big Slow.
ReplyDeleteMurica.
ReplyDeleteEven the way Miz walks to ring looks fake.
ReplyDeleteSo who's getting fed to cena as a freak of the month title challenger at b ppv first, sandow or cesaro?
ReplyDeleteCesaro.
ReplyDeleteAntonio Cesaro is so much an American that 25 Bald Eagles committed suicide so that they could be used for Cesaro's ring jacket.
ReplyDeleteI think the gimmick is death, crowd doesn't know what to do with a guy badmouthing American's but waving the flag Hacksaw style. Cesaro's good enough to overcome it but the quicker they drop it and move him up the card the better.
ReplyDeleteJust squash the hell out of Miz here and "make him humble" like the Iron Sheik would say. Put him as announcer for a bit and then repackage him as a heel where he still has "value".
ReplyDeleteDDP has the biggest boner right now.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena - "Why Not Both?"
ReplyDeletePretty sure the crowd knows what Cesaro's schtick is. It's so obvious.
ReplyDeleteShit, haven't seen a shoulder break since the old days of "the enforcer" AA. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhats the deal with Mizs shoulder? legit or kayfabe, i've got the all star game on
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Alberto Del Rio didn't kick the bucket tonight.
ReplyDeleteWho cares. I'll be in full zzzzzzz mode by then until the Summerslam push. Post WM to circa July WWE is just AWFUL these days.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't storm the beaches of Normandy wearing shoulder tape you pussy!
ReplyDeleteyeah its not exactly a high concept, pretty sure people get it
ReplyDeleteChristian v Cesaro at WM! book it!
ReplyDeleteIt's The Miz. Who cares?
ReplyDeleteCole-ism of the Day: "Trying to steal one"
ReplyDeleteChristian lost too much momentum due to his injurys over the last 18 months. They don't trust him enough to elevate him that high so quickly.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Christian won't even smell another WM.
ReplyDeleteLast time a shoulder breaker won a match was over 20 years ago, when Big Van Vader beat Ron Simmons for the WCW World TItle.
ReplyDeleteChristian is best as a heel.
ReplyDeletePretty sure that tape was made in Russia. Get out of my country you commie bastard!
ReplyDeleteWell played.
ReplyDeleteCesaro v Sheamus v Barrett at WM! Unify the secondary titles, make a real man's championship, and have one of the most brutal brawls ever.
ReplyDeleteDid you know: The Miz is now a face?
ReplyDeleteYou'd think they'd depush sheamus that quick?
ReplyDeleteSpecial guest referee - William Regal Special guest timekeeper - Fit Finlay!
ReplyDeletePutting an American in with two dastardly foreign heels like Sheamus and Barrett is so unfair. But Cesaro will the use the power of freedom to overcome.
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably push him because the Pope is in the news.
ReplyDeleteA million times THIS to so much of your post that concerns unifying the secondary titles--should have be done AGES ago.
ReplyDeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteMiz was born in Kenya.
ReplyDeleteMiz is a reality star pretending to be a wrestler pretending to be a wrestler. I haven't been this confused since Victor/Victoria.
ReplyDeleteHey Yo
ReplyDeleteHave a great night folks. And remember,its never the weed and coke that kills. So stay away from painkiller!
This isn't your best gimmick.
ReplyDeleteBut then you would only have one champion to job out every week.
ReplyDeleteNah, the crickets are chirping too loudly for me to hear anything when Miz makes an appearance these days.
ReplyDeleteIRON CLAD CONTRACT!!!
ReplyDeleteMiz shouldn't even attempt a dragon screw leg whip...ugh...
ReplyDeleteReally? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a quality match. Wait i mean it was... What the fuck kinda finish is this bullsheet?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't you change your name to "miz4dagold", now that Flair himself has deemed him the heir apparent?
ReplyDeleteWell, that ending sucked.
ReplyDeleteWow...that's a TERRIBLE finish!
ReplyDeleteLil Naitch was probably angry that Miz was ripping off his idol
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHAHA! Vince is still protecting Face Miz? WTF.
ReplyDeleteThat was good match, god damn DQ.
ReplyDeleteDQ's for a low blow sets a dangerous precedent...
ReplyDeleteoh god now...lol.
ReplyDeleteReally? would it have hurt to have cesaro go over miz clean?...its the MIZ!
ReplyDeleteTypical cheap tricks by a dirty foreigner. We need to protect our borders from commie bastards like Miz!
ReplyDeleteThat was a lame finish, just as the match was warming up. Still, Cesaro retains!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I now believe I will never buy a badass version of Miz. I just kinda laugh when he puts on a his mean face.
ReplyDeleteOnly if Kofi Kingston is the champ.
ReplyDeleteThis feud must continue...but why???
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't snap seeing someone fucking up a figure four?
ReplyDeleteMiz vs Undertaker.
ReplyDeleteI wish he'd go back to Kenya.
ReplyDeletehe went from miz the dickeater to miz the dickhitter
ReplyDeleteCommunist.
ReplyDeleteMiz is a perfect example of a guy who was in the best possible gimmick, a whiny chickenshit heel. Anything else is doomed for failure.
ReplyDeleteI'm not from Africa, you're from Africa you African booty scratcher
ReplyDeleteThat match was actually decent before the dumb ending. Will they actually respect the US title enough to book a rematch at 'Mania?
ReplyDeleteTime for the match we've all been waiting for...Kaitlyn vs Tamina!
ReplyDeleteI thought his best gimmick was when they stuck him in the crowd with a microphone to introduce video packages...
ReplyDeleteDid you know that...ah, forget it.
ReplyDelete
